Minneapolis

Welcome to California Closets Minneapolis

The Minneapolios branch of California Closets was opened by a cabinet designer who had bigger plans than standard closet design. Our training, staff, equipment and technology have been hand picked to deliver the best design solutions that the industry has to offer.

No storage problem is to big or small. We encourage outside the box thinking and even if it is not a solution we provide, we will recommend one that meets the clients needs. We value our clients above all else.

Top of the line quality comes standard at our franchise. Our standard drawer is dovetail, wood construction with soft-close runners. The best option is always presented upfront.

Our showroom is conveniently located in the Galleria Shopping Center. We have a wide range of fully built systems on display everyday.

We encourage all our customers to visit our showroom to see first hand how a California Closets storage solution looks, feels, and functions. This is the best way to make sure you are making the most informed decisions about what will look beautiful in your home.

At California Closets, we like to give back to the community. We offer our showroom as a location for meetings and events for 50-100 people. At one of our own very bustling events, we have had as many as 300 people come through during a 3-4 hour period, and very comfortably!

Who is the California Closets Customer?

At California Closets Minneapolios we know that no two homes are the same, and no 2 customers are the same. The way you use your storage spaces might be completely different to your neighbour.

We service clients of all different types and design situations from new appartments to older homes with small closets that just need the space optimized.

We also work with community groups in Minneapolios to help them optimize their spaces. One of the projects we do very often is renovations to accommodate the unique clothing sizes of athletes in Minneapolis sports teams.

Whatever the storage need, California Closets of the Twin Cities can provide the solution.
